One day the waves will forget the ocean
+
And wander their way up to the shore
+
One day the moon will quit being the watchman
+
Forget just who she's shining for
+
Oh, these bones will carry me home
+
One day these mountains will tire of standing
+
Drop their shoulders into the sand
+
One day the wind will give up its last breath
+
Go drifting off to some promised land
+
Oh, these bones will carry me home
+
One day the fire will give up its ashes
+
And weave their way through the open air
+
One day the rain will cover us up, darling
+
We'll drink and dance like there's no one there
+
One day the winter will give up its shaking
+
And lay itself by an open flame
+
One day the stars will stop flickering off
+
On and off and on and off
+
On and off and on again
+
